I just published an eBook that walks you through learning how to write VBA in Word. Much of it will be similar for Excel...the basics. Once you have an idea what it's all about, you then have to learn to use it within the application you want. I believe I explain how VBA works in an easy to understand way. This book is from my online classes. The new classes start Sept 1. Folks here have taken my Word AutoForm & VBA class and they were writing some pretty impressive code after a few weeks. I also have a lot of free tutorials on my site. Go to www.mousetrax.com and check out TechPage (see the Word AutoForms which includes free lessons in using VBA in Word)...click the TechTrax for more helpful articles...and check out TechClasses and TechBooks for further info on my book and classes. And if you want to specifically learn Excel VBA, I have some of John Walkenbach's books liked on my TechBooks page. They're great books! Good luck!
